 note = {In 1911, the literary magazine Hototogisu (The Lesser Cuckoo) published Yamashiro Seichu’s Kunenbo, a work that marked the “beginning of the novel” for “Okinawan literature.” Studies on this work are lacking, and readings tend to have a biased focus on persons with proper names, who were involved in the fraud on Matsuda’s house, Okinawa, and external relations. After revealing the limitations of readings focused on persons with proper names and the fraud incident, this paper focuses on persons with no name in Okinawa who configure the affair in central Okinawa. This paper confirms that a processes leading to the persons with no name have a collective existence. That is, “the crowd” is disconnected from their lives as Ryukyu by war rumors and Japan’s manipulation of information, and it becomes Japanized. From these results, the effect on “Okinawa” is much more than on just persons with proper names. Therefore, “the crowd” is an important existence in Kunenbo. As for the other party, the advocate, at first glance, the novel’s narrator sees from a higher perspective that “the crowd” has a “unique” “Ryukyu ethnicity” and they are inherently a part or an attribute of Ryukyu. However, this advocacy is denied by the crowd’s initiative to Japanize themselves. Simultaneously, not only being Japanized but also being Qingized and Ryukyuanized is an accidental result that depends on the crowd’s actions during the war. In other words, “uniqueness” is not an original element, but is added artificially for “the crowd.” This novel was not only “Ryukyu” and “Okinawa’s” counterpoint to “Japan,” but was also epoch-making, implying the obvious artificiality of these groups by “the crowd.”},
